Location
Tabbora has been identified with two groups of ruins rather close to each other, now called Tembra, west of Bijga (ancient Bisica) in the valley of Wadi Siliana, Tunisia.
Bishops
Two bishops are known:[1]
- Marinus, present at the Conference of Carthage (411), where his rival was Victor, also rival of the Bishop of Bisica;
- Constantine, who signed the letter from the bishops of the province to Patriarch Paul II of Constantinople, against the Monothelites (646).
No longer a residential see, Tabbora is included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.[2]
